Looking for book recommendations that can guide me on the spiritual path. Whether it’s about mindfulness, personal growth, or exploring different spiritual traditions, I’m open to all suggestions.
Some books that have helped me to find some glimpses are Inner Engineering, Be Here Now, Think like a Monk, An Autobiography of a Yogi, Karma: A Yogi’s Guide to Crafting Your Destiny.
Somehow feel this journey will take some time for me. And can see the path is longer for a person like me. Maybe someone here can help me shorten it somehow.
What are some books that have helped you grow spiritually? Are there any particular reads that have opened new perspectives or brought positivity and clarity to your life? Which has helped you build a much better life than before.
Feel free to share your experiences as well. As Sharing is Caring :)

I’m lazy to open a book and read… but Sadhguru’s Karma book got me hooked
The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James

This is an out of left field suggestion but the biography Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. It’s about a WW2 flyer, Louis Zamperini, whose plane crashed and was eventually captured and spent time in a Japanese POW camp. The book has a message about forgiveness that literally changed my Life.
Anything about Existentialism rearranged my POV; it may be of some help to you. It certainly has been for me.
Let me preface this by saying I have read a lot of naysayers about the following authors and I can agree to a point, but the books still provided points of view and outlooks toward self development that meant a lot to me when I was developing my identity. I really attribute much of who I am to “Zen an the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”. My whole attitude and approach to situations has come from this book.I am unafraid of things that are new and unknown and welcome the challenge. I am less specific about Carlos Casteneda’s series of books as to what I have received from them. I do believe they had a great effect on my spiritual development.
Here for the good stuff before this hits All and becomes 50 shades of Eat Pray Love fluff. Gnarly mystic medieval sheepskin scrolls written by heretical monks sort of thing. The good stuff
